Part 3:
Reading about these people during the Great Depression taught me about just how difficult it was to live back then. In the first interview I read, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller talked about how she lived after her husband left her.
She discussed how difficult it was to find food after not having any money. She talked about hunting for hogs in great detail. She had to feed her family and she would do anything it took to get them fed. The next interview I read was about Bernice. She had to participate and provide rent- parties to make money. She thought it was a disgrace to her name, but she needed money. Next, I read about Mrs. Mayme Reese. She was a housewife from the Great Depression. Her story included the life of working for a family. She did this because it was the only job she could get. Mrs. Marie Haggerty was also a maid, but she was far from ordinary. She made beds and found a five dollar bill. She was honest to the family, but they thought she was strange and would have kept it. The last interview was about a man named Jim Cole. He worked in the butcher section of the meat dpt. He did not enjoy killing animals for a living, but he did what he had to do. This related to the Great Depression becuase they were all people that were going through difficult financial times and needed a job to provide for them and theri families.
